I have yet to write anything bad about a band. This will be my first constructive criticism. Cold Room Theory with Only Words as the song.

Alright so I am going to try not to rag on this guy too hard. He confesses in his profile that he actually dropped out of college to pursue his dream as a musician. Reasons to be a musician he says includes, "be fun to go on tour with other bands, sell merchandice, and just play my music for people who will listen." Yes he did spell merchandise wrong. If we get over the fact that he obviously could have used a little bit more college in English, it still leaves us with fun to tour with other bands and of course play music for people who will listen. Let us examine the fun of touring.
When one tours they must provide money for the tour, food while out on tour, and lets not forget the stamina. Everyone who is alive thinks touring sounds great at first glance. This guy should really understand that it is not all rainbows and butterflies. People have to know of you and your music and you have to have a business sense to even book paying gigs. Saying you get the paying gigs then you must divide it amongst the band and all of the expenses needed to get to your next gig. Finally, since the gig surely is not paying that much as a beginner, you must find reasonable means to shower, shave, and sleep. If you are rich then, hey I am sure someone will pay for it for you. However, if you are not in that percentile then you must figure these choices out.
Moving on to the actual song. Well I think you really blew your tour here. Of all of the horrible singers I have heard and talentless bands, this really takes the caliber to another level. Wow! Only Words is absolutely devoid of rhythm. The first little plastic beats are ok until you realize the rhythm stays flat when the singing comes through. The singing on this song is not horrific but maybe I can't get past the fact that the music does not even match at all.
My advice to pick up an acoustic guitar you say you can play and start over. Scratch it as I should have stayed in college another semester and actually took a music class.
